Logo Design & Branding

We work diligently to provide our clients with carefully crafted logo designs and brand identities. We develop unique, memorable logos which clearly and seamlessly convey your message and identity across all platforms, marketing materials, and media. Remember, you are what people think you are, and they're already forming opinions of you the second they see your logo. This is why the most successful examples of logo design provide compelling positive first impressions instantly.

Graphic Design

The most important tool for any graphic designer is their mind. Anyone who can pick up a pen can draw lines on paper, but it takes experience, talent, vision, creativity, and passion to achieve success in Graphic Design. Keeping your theme and message consistent throughout your entire print and online marketing campaign is crucial to developing your company's image and brand. We perfectly match each design element to reflect the overall theme of your project, maintaining your brand identity.

Illustration

From drawing and painting to rendering and digital enhancement, taking a concept and bringing it to life is the foundation for everything we love about illustration. The work we've done for clients has appeared on packaging, merchandise, corporate media, publishing, and in frames on walls. Our experience with layout, composition, and typography, as well as our expertise in sketching, rendering, and classical painting, is invaluable to the creation of our industry-leading Illustration work.

About Us

Hey, thanks for stopping by! My name is Ernie Chiaradonna, and I've been a designer and artist from Boston, MA for over 20 years. My goal is to provide the best Boston logo design, graphic design, illustration, and many other creative solutions for my ever-growing family of amazing clients. That's meant gallons of coffee and countless creative sessions for me, and loads of Oooh's, Wow's, and OMG's from them. Which makes it all worthwhile!

As the official graphic designer for the Boston Arts Festival, I'm actively involved in the local art, design, and illustration communites. I'm continuously adapting, learning, absorbing, and improving upon the lastest techniques and practices, which ensures that the work I do is current & forward-thinking.

Whether I'm designing a logo, choosing the perfect typeface for a marketing project, or sketching an illustration, I have an excitement and a passion for giving life to new ideas and for creating something the world has never seen. I work hard to bring that passion into each and every project, and I hope it shows! Here's a quick summary of some of the services I offer…

Our Process

Discovery Stage

Discovery involves gathering information about who you are and what differentiates you from your competition. Keeping open lines of communication helps us to learn about your ideas, your market positioning, and your goals for the future. Using this information, we are able to lay the ground work for the most successful approach for delivering your brand to the world.

Design Stage

During the design stage, we develop concepts that exemplify your mission and define your brand. This creative process builds toward an initial presentation of design concepts, followed by the fine-tuning of the project's direction through design revisions, culminating with a unique design solution that will position your brand for success.

Delivery Stage

Once the design is complete, we will prepare all of your files and materials for distribution, and we'll offer guidance in how to successfully present your design strategy throughout every aspect of your business plan. Our goal is to offer world-class creative solutions while building long-term relationships with our ever-growing family of clients.

Our Pricing

Unlike most graphic design agencies, we are 100% up front with our pricing. Our rate is always the same for any of our services. We charge $50 per actual hour spent working on your design, which we carefully track for every project.
